Respect

‘Respect’ is an accolade...
bestowed upon Men...
who through their actions...
lived a life of moral excellence...
acted with accord, as one who...
comes the the aid...
protects those...
fairely treats...
all he encounters in life...
serving the cause of Justice...
while never warring it, as a badge

‘Respect’ must be earned...
cannot be bestowed as a birthright...
no position of importance...
can make it automatic...
no Man has ever been born...
who was so important...
too few Men have lived...
who have earned it...
Men only have the right...
to simple civility...
as do all of God's creations'

A flaw can tarnish...
not necessarily deminish...
the life works of a Man...
Man is born flawed...
will faulter and fall...
But, through trial and error...
he will work to overcome...
learning, spiritually growing...
till death be that final test...
the telling of what a Man...
the stuff he is made of
